Ice Cream! Networking Is Key and Being Self Aware “You have to
network the right way. It’s not all about networking and asking:
What can you do for me?… Building relationships is critical and
important… Really understanding the space you want to get into is
critical to finding those people that fit and putting them
together… Also knowing who you are and being self aware is just
as important…” Said the CEO of Tassl. It’s Not Easy “You have to
be really smart but also a little crazy. You have to be smart on
the business side, but not too tied to the idea of the business…
The crazy part comes in to the hours and stress and also putting
your savings account on the line to live in that work of
uncertainty… You cant be stubborn and think your idea is better,
you need to understand what’s going on in the market and how you
can fit in… You have to be the right person to be doing it and
that’s what investors are looking for as well…” Says Melissa.
